Out of ICU but still in hospital...

They moved him out of the ICU early yesterday. They are still doing basic Neuro checks to make sure everything remains good, but they are pretty confident there is no danger from the bleeding in his bonked head.

He was moved to a private room! View isn't great, but there were no windows in his room in the ICU! He checks his phone for a few minutes, on and off, dozes on and off...

So the main focus shifts back to the pain in his mouth, the rash, and getting fluids and nutrition into him. There was a lot of waiting around after the move, long stretches between visits from a couple doctors, nurse checks, etc. Way too long to get him hooked back up to fluids and get him pain meds, some kind of disconnect with things in the transfer that I still don't understand, but I didn't leave until he was covered on both those needs (it was another long day).

I'll be heading back to hospital today, armed with a list of things Biff has asked me to bring and a list of things to discuss about care going forward. Will do my best to post an update again later today, but no later than tomorrow!

So happy the bonk on the head didn't end up requiring surgery!

Onward we go...
